How an Engineer Plays Garry’s Mod - Polidicks

The git repo for those who want a look at it: [url]https://github.com/johnboiles/JBKinectHacks[/url] [b]Don't use if you don't know what this is, it doesn't work like that (yet)[/b]. Currently only supported on OSX from what I can see

I want a kinect now, but they are fucking expensive.

[QUOTE=john_frohman;28519350]Nice first post.[/QUOTE] And?

Someone needs to make a Kinect-able thing for 3DS Max, so we can take those animations and smooth them out and actually use them.

Kinect= the Greatest Xbox addition that works wonders on everything except the XBox.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;28520091]And yet it still has no practical uses.[/QUOTE] How can you say that. I know it has no real world application but the amount of new Games that could be introduced to Gmod would be astronomical

God, NOW I WANT KINECT. fuck.

I expected some video about the TF2 engineer. This is so much better.

I cant see anybody playing a gamemode using kinect as nobody purchased the horrible thing.

I knew I had a Kinect in this house for a reason! Definitely trying this out as soon as I can

People think this is amazing, and while it is, just like everything else developers and software engineers make that is amazing, it won't travel far.

[QUOTE=void0x0;28521086]People think this is amazing, and while it is, just like everything else developers and software engineers make that is amazing, it won't travel far.[/QUOTE] And it won't for a reason. Kinect is a piece of shit. The capture quality is way too poor to use it for anything other than gmod movies(if you can even call them that) It's like this 3d gimmick in theaters right now. Sure it looks cool and all being able to move a character like that, but in the end you need tons of space for it to work at all and you can't even walk and stuff. I'll wait for virtual reality. Until then I'll stick to button controllers. As for using kinect for mocap, that's a terrible idea. It will take you longer to clean up the animation than it would to key one from scratch. There is a reason why mocap systems cost a lot.

wow think of the movies i could make with this!

^ holy amazing That's a huge improvement over the original concept within the first few hours of it being released. This has a lot of potential.

This is amazing, and people thought Kinect was useless when it was just announced.

That. Is. Awesome. Imagen the possibilities.

The only use I find for this is capturing facial animation, and allowing people to talk to each other... Even then my webcam with a few modifications can do the same exact thing.

Isn't MS striking gold ever since they said they'll release Kinetics SDK

That's pretty damn awesome.

I am seriously considering getting a Kinect for this even though I will probably get bored of it very quickly.

Wonder if he will let me ship this with GMod.. would love to put it in - in a user friendly way.

[QUOTE=minilandstan;28518809]This could work very well to make animations for Movies in garrys mod.[/QUOTE] Motion capture could be easily available for everyone. Amazing.
